That seems pointless as even now actual throughput on wirelss even in the best of circumstances barely break 50 mbs.

Yeah, but that 10Gbe switch for your media server will let you stream to everything in the house at the same time!

Really, though, I can saturate my 1Gbe pretty easily when my system is backing up to the server. I've got a couple decent RAID sets going and that's not even accounting for SSDs which are getting pretty prominent.

PREDICTION (i know, dangerous ground here): We'll see 10Gbe in the consumer space in <3 years from today.
